CEC 2024 for Students/Pre-Service Teachers

Join us on Thursday morning with your fellow pre-service and early career teachers at this event designed just for you. Over breakfast you'll network with your table of peers and learn from a veteran special education professional about a topic of your choice. Topics included trauma-informed practices, practical classroom data collection, establishing your classroom management style, and more.

This event is free for all pre-service and early career teachers, but sign-ups are required as space is limited!
